James Charles Kopp - Co-conspirators

Co-conspirators

Kopp received help from sympathetic pro-life activist couple Loretta Marra and Dennis Malvasi of Brooklyn, who pled guilty to one count each of conspiracy in helping Kopp avoid capture. Marra and Malvasi had communicated extensively with Kopp, telling him also via electronic communications that "the coast is clear", referring to his proposed secretive return to US via Canada, and also to his use of their home as a safe house. On August 21, 2003, they were sentenced to time served, and released. The fugitive assisters later changed their names to Joyce Maier and Ted Barnes.
